Not gay, but this song was always SUPER fun to sing in Rockband. Not sure if it's too on-the-nose or what, but I stand by it as an absolute banger, regardless of who you're attracted to.
Electric Six - Gay Bar - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XNFokmDKrE
Maybe open with that to lighten the mood? Also, it's only about two minutes long (plus an intro). Plus, taking the piss outta Lincoln.
This was a really good pick! Very fun and it had a strong pov. Plus, it's about gay shit so very on theme ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
Cool! Glad a few people liked it.
That reminds me, something else that's not quite as on-the-nose, and was also fun as hell to sing on Rockband!
Semi-Precious Weapons - Magnetic Baby: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCl2g_aL8rQ
Now, I always thought this song was gay (or at least LGBTQ+) but he's messing with a girl in the video and now I'm not so sure. But listen to the lyrics, it's at the very least genderqueer.
Bonus: This is what it looked like to us for years: Semi-Precious Weapons - Magnetic Baby (Rockband 2 Full Band Full Combo). This is not us playing, just found this on YouTube. I only ever sang it. I know my wife sang it and played it on drums. Maybe the other instruments. I couldn't do the instruments. I loved to sing it โ anything punk adjacent was fun as hell to sing. I didn't even like emo (or pay attention to it) until I started playing Rockband. That shit's fun to sing too. I don't care how gay the lyrics are, if it's fun to sing, I was belting it out. Sometimes even sober! (The most fun we had was when we actually had a crowd, friends and whatnot around, they would pick the songs and we would play them, no matter how hard.)
This was going to be my suggestion.
